the 60s | Year: 1999 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Mark Piznarski A Wonderful Depiction I loved this movie and that is saying a lot because for one thing it was over three hours and two it had Julia Stiles in it usually I hate her movies but this I loved. The 60's follows a normal family with three kids and throughout the decade one son joins the army and goes to fight in Vietnam, the other son goes and becomes a protester against the Vietnam War, then the youngest child the daughter (Julia Stiles) becomes a teenage mother who runs away from home to find her boyfriend and when she finds him he has turned into a "hippie". The story also follows a family who's father is a preacher and has a son who goes through all sorts of tragedy through the story. I would recommend this to people who like movies that are Historical Fiction and who can sit through a three hour movie without falling asleep or losing the train of the story. I hope that this review has helped you make a decision about this film. The '60s: Great Movie from Beginning to End!! I absolutely LOVE this movie!! I've always been fascinated<BR> with the "decade that changed America forever", even though<BR> I wasn't born until 1973. The film has an excellent cast,<BR> and I especially liked Josh Hamilton's performance as<BR> Michael Herlihy...intelligent, sensitive, very socially<BR> conscious...and VERY cute!! I also watched with interest<BR> the relationship between Katie Herlihy and her father.<BR> Having grown up in a strict Catholic family myself, I<BR> could relate to the moral issues and the conflict they<BR> struggled with. (Although I think it's BEYOND RIDICULOUS<BR> that Katie got in trouble at the homecoming dance for<BR> dancing the Twist, labeled "lewd and inappropriate" by<BR> her father & Sister Elizabeth.) Oh, how the times have<BR> changed!! I have watched this movie probably a dozen times, <BR> and probably will watch it a dozen more...I never get <BR> tired of it. If you are interested in the music, <BR> sociology and/or politics of the 1960s, you need to<BR> watch this film. I'm glad I did! Review of "The '60s" I enjoyed this DVD, although the acting was a bit cheezy and we didn't see anyone too famous (well, except Dylan, Mario Savio and the rest...) however it was quite enjoyable. For anyone born a bit too late (like myself) then I recommend watching it. Buy The 60s at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
